Weather permitting, I will try to make it.

Black Sheep · 10-22-2012, 08:41 AM

I'm going to try an make it out

timtech · 10-23-2012, 08:29 AM

I was thinking of Sunday as a backup plan if Wednesday doesn't clear up.

So far I can make Wednesday night if it's decent out.

Black Sheep · 10-23-2012, 08:34 AM

72 degrees with a 20% chance of rain. Should be good to go. I have to Monkey around with my wheels so as long as everything goes well I'll be there

Markyd83 · 10-23-2012, 10:04 AM

Do they keep air to refill tires on site? Also what time are people going? They close at 9 right?

Black Sheep · 10-23-2012, 10:07 AM

I will most likely have my air pump, I should be there around 6 if not a little after, an yes they close at 9

timtech · 10-23-2012, 10:53 AM

They usually have an air pump near the staging lanes. I'm hoping to get there around 5:30'ish. I don't think they start truly running until 6:00'ish from what I remember.

Black Sheep · 10-23-2012, 11:03 AM

yeah gates open at 5 but the tracks not prepped till 6ish

BADS335 · 10-23-2012, 02:47 PM

I am going and bringing a friend with a WRX. They do have air there. Also, I thought racing went till 10?

Black Sheep · 10-23-2012, 02:54 PM

Wednesdays:
Open Test n Tune 5-9pm
Ladies Night - ladies spectate for free, and they can race for free too... and even enter a ladies only elimination race with a trophy for the winner!
Guys: $35 to race, $15 to spectate

BADS335 · 10-23-2012, 03:24 PM

Unfortunately I am not a lady so guess I have to fork over $35 for 3hrs of racing. That sucks. They jacked up the price and took away time. They better prep that shit good!

Black Sheep · 10-23-2012, 03:25 PM

Prices went up this year, an they always end at 9 during this time of the year, during the summer they are open till 10-11 I'm pretty sure

BADS335 · 10-23-2012, 03:36 PM

Maybe they will stretch it tonight if the weather is good and people show up.

BADS335 · 10-24-2012, 08:57 AM

I am leaving from Lisle at about 3 and stopping for some food on the way to be there about 5 or so.

BADS335 · 10-24-2012, 08:58 AM

My car has the ugly ass chrome mesh grills...that I will swap once I get a new bumper on to replace my cracked one.

Mr. Nice · 10-24-2012, 09:25 AM

$35 is worth it, you can get a ton of runs in over three hours there

Showcar · 10-24-2012, 09:29 AM

If the weather holds and turnout is good they will be open longer. It has happened in the past. I will be there at 5pm in my Vette. Lic. plate reads SHOWCAR. Stop by and say hi. Look forward to meeting you all.

Black Sheep · 10-24-2012, 12:00 PM

Ready to go, weather looks good

Black Sheep · 10-25-2012, 11:48 AM

Nice meeting you guys, sorry I could not race all night with you all. Next year 11's for sure...

It was nice meeting you. It seemed to have been a night of waiting. I only got three runs in while the track was down most of the night.

I'm going to see if I can get in one more this year since I can't end the year on such a down note.

I hope all is well.
